There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1017

[Chapter 1017, broken and safe]

New Year’s Day, Gu Jian saw Xiao Moreng and Dao Zi coming over wearing the same red robes. From a distance, they looked like brothers, and suddenly laughed: “You two They look like brothers.”

Xiao Yeyang, who was a step behind and helped Daohua into the room, smiled and said: “The two of them are brothers.”

Daozi nodded seriously: “That’s right.”

Xiao Moreng didn’t say anything , but his eyes and mouth were full of smiles, he liked Uncle and Aunt Wang’s attitude of not treating him as an outsider.

Not long after, the maids came over with hot fermented glutinous rice balls.

Seeing Daozi, she couldn’t help but wanted to show something, and ran to help: “Old Ancestor, I’ll bring you glutinous rice balls.”

Daohua’s big belly made it difficult to move, and just as she was about to stop her, she saw her son stretching out his hand Go to the porcelain bowl containing the glutinous rice balls.

“Kang Dang~” The

porcelain bowl was too hot, and the rice couldn’t hold back, and the bowl fell to the ground.

Breaking something on the first day of the new year is not a good omen, the maid was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, Daozi knew she had done something wrong, and looked at Daohua cautiously.

Gu Jian wanted to comfort Daozi with a few words, but with his apprentice around, he and Xiao Yeyang had a tacit understanding and chose to shut up.

Xiao Moreng was worried that Daozi would be scolded, so he hurried forward and said, “Auntie, it’s all my fault, I didn’t pull the rice well.”

Daohua smiled and said, “What does this have to do with you?” As he spoke, he looked at his son who was pretending to be a quail. There was no scolding or comfort, “You dropped the bowl, what should you do now?”

Seeing that Daohua was not angry, Daozi patted his chest in relief, thinking of what his mother usually taught him, to find a way to solve problems. Then she smiled and looked at the kneeling servant girl: “Get up, you’re not to blame for this, hurry up and clean it up.”

Then, she looked down at her shoes wet with soup, and looked at Daohua, “Mother, I The shoes are wet and you have to get a new pair, you eat first, I’ll be right back.”

After speaking, he ran out of the house.

Xiao Moreng saw him and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Daohua.

“Okay, don’t worry about him, just sit down and eat the glutinous rice balls, they won’t taste good if they get cold. There is a nanny on the side of the rice, so it will be fine.”

Seeing that the old ancestor and Uncle Wang were eating, Xiao Moreng had no choice but to take it. Picked up the spoon.

It didn’t take long for the rice to come back with a ‘dengdengdeng’.

“Mother, I’ve changed my shoes.”

Daohua said ‘hmm’, pulled the stool, and motioned for Daozi to sit down and eat.

After Daozi sat down, she looked at the people at the dinner table, and finally chose to apologize: “Mother, I was wrong.”

Daohua turned to look at Daozi: “What’s wrong?” It’s a trivial matter for a child to throw a bowl, but The son took the initiative to admit his mistake, and it seemed a bit of a loss not to take the opportunity to preach a few words.

Daozi: “Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I broke the bowl, which is unlucky.”

Daohua shook his head: “It’s just a small thing to drop a bowl, and it’s not unlucky.”

Gu Jian quickly answered: “Yes, yes, it’s not unlucky , our family will always be smooth and successful.” As he grows old, he is still very taboo about certain things.

Xiao Yeyang didn’t care about these things, he smiled and watched his son and his mother Zhou Xuan.

Daozi’s eyes lit up: “Really? Then our family won’t have to be unlucky?” Daohua showed

surprise: “Who said we would be unlucky?”

Daozi: “I heard from the kitchen woman that during the New Year You can’t break things, or you’ll be unlucky.”

Dao Hua didn’t want her son to keep such a bad hint in her heart: “That’s her nonsense, you broke the bowl, it’s called Sui Sui Ping An.”

Hearing this Xiao Yeyang looked over at the words: “Sui Sui is safe. Your explanation is quite good.”

Gu Jian nodded straight: “Yes, safe and sound every year, our family will always be fine.”

Seeing that his parents and ancestors didn’t blame him, Daozi was completely relieved, and happily picked up a spoon to eat glutinous rice balls.

But Daohua said again: “It’s a trivial matter to throw a bowl, but today you are indeed wrong, and the mistake is that you overestimated your capabilities.”

Daozi pouted and lowered her head.

Daohua continued: “You see that the bowl is not big, and you feel that you can handle it, but you don’t know that the bowl is very hot. You see that the maids hold it easily, so you think you can do it yourself, but in reality?”

“Your hands Tender, unable to withstand the high temperature, and not knowing how to hold the bowl, I dropped the bowl in one fell swoop.”

“It’s the same as when you hung the lanterns a few days ago. I saw the boys hang it easily, but in fact they didn’t .” It’s not as simple as imagined, don’t you still say your arms are sore when you sleep at night?”

“Let’s do things, we must see the essence of the matter clearly, know how capable we are, don’t be impulsive and brave, and do what we can.”

After finishing speaking , Scooped a glutinous rice ball into the rice bowl.

Daozi knew that her mother was comforting herself, so a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said loudly: “Mother, I know, I will think twice before acting

.” Daohua smiled: “Eat quickly.”

Daozi scooped it up with a smile Qi Daohua started to eat the glutinous rice balls, and then said ‘ah’, surprised: “Mom, I have eaten ingots, and I

will be lucky again this year.” The ingot was shown to Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian.

Gu Jian laughed and said: “Our rice is going to be lucky.” “Ancestor, you eat it quickly, maybe you can eat   Yuanbao

soon

.”

Xiao Moreng heaved a sigh of relief as he ate the rice of glutinous rice balls, and the family of Uncle Wang who were talking and laughing happily.

That’s how the throwing of the bowl went.

Dropping a bowl on the first day of the new year is not a big deal, but if it is left in Beijing, many people will care about it.

Xiao Moreng couldn’t help but imagine that if he broke the bowl, his father and mother would most likely blame him.

His father and mother have high expectations of him, and they have always been very strict with him, requiring him to do things with perfection, and he rarely has the opportunity to express his opinions.

He didn’t think it was a big deal, after all, other cousins lived like this.

But after coming to Uncle Wang’s house, watching his aunt teach Daozi, and feeling the relaxed and happy atmosphere in Uncle Wang’s house, he felt that this is the feeling of home.

“Fourth brother, did you get the ingot?”

Just when Xiao Moreng was lost in thought, Daozi asked him.

Xiao Moreng quickly took a bite of the glutinous rice balls, and then slowly spit out a small golden ingot under the gaze of Daozi.

Seeing that Xiao Moreng also ate ingots, Daozi immediately grinned: “Great, we all have good luck this year, so happy, fourth brother, are you happy?”

Xiao Moreng: “. Happy! ”

Diaozi said again: “Fourth brother, let’s set off firecrackers later.”

Xiao Moreng quickly looked at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: “If you want to play, go and play. I will let Defu and Deshou follow you. Be careful when playing firecrackers. Don’t hurt yourself, or you won’t be able to play next time.”

Daozi: “Oh, Dad, we know, we’re not children anymore, we won’t hurt ourselves.”

This made Xiao Yeyang speechless, but Gu Jian and Dao Hua laughed.
